#4 Barcelona boasts some of the best youngsters in Europe

Next season’s team will be one of the youngest Barcelona teams in recent history, with the squad age averaging only 24 years. This will be even less if one looks only at the playing eleven. The point is, the Catalans have an extremely young, and extremely talented side who, under proper guidance could go on to win a lot of silverware.

Players like Pedri, Ansu Fati, Ilaix Moriba, have been delivering jaw-dropping performances, but the list does not end there. Prodigies such as Riqui Puig, Alex Collado, and Alex Balde, are also itching to get more time with the main team. On the defensive side, we have the likes of Ronald Araujo, Oscar Mingueza, Eric Garcia, Sergino Dest, and Emerson Royal. This Barcelona side has some of the best young players in all of Europe, and with Koeman’s youth-based tactics, they should be a real thorn in the league.

Pedri has become a staple in the team, and hopefully, Fati can make a return before the start of the next season. The young defense looks promising, and under the leadership of players like Lionel Messi, Jordi Alba, and Sergio Busquets, there is nothing stopping the Blaugranas from lifting the La Liga.
